Help!! She’s dying

I bought this plant from Walmart. I waited a week before watering after potting her in her new pot to let her get acclimated. Idk what to do. This is my first time buying from Walmart. I usually buy from Lowe’s. Maybe she was sick to begin with? The one labeled Miley is what she used to look like😞 and the other photo is now 😩
3ft to light, indirect
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
Hi! In the original picture from when you first got her, she already looks a bit sickβ€”dehydrated, in my opinion. The store probably didn’t water much, if at all. While there could definitely be something else going on, I would suggest as a start, remove all the brown, shriveled leaves from the plant, and make sure when you do water it, you use the soak and dry methodβ€”don’t water until the soil is 100% dry, and then water deeply and profoundly. I would suggest to bottom water itβ€”at watering time, put the whole plant in its pot into a bigger container of water, letting the water enter through the drainage holes on the bottom of the pot. Let it soak for a good amount of time, until you see that the soil is fully damp. Make sure it gets lots of bright light the rest of the time and I believe you will begin to see new growth in a few weeks! Succulents are very resilient. I hope you find this helpful πŸ’šπŸŒΏ
